Report: Arbitration panel overturns suspensions against players in Saints bounty scandal

An arbitration panel has overturned the suspensions levied by the NFL against four players in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, according to a report by ESPN.

The players -- Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove -- are eligible to play immediately.

The ruling does not cover coaches Greg Williams, Sean Payton and Joe Vitt's suspensions, nor Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, because they are not covered by the NFL Players Association.

More details to come.
